Chad Roehner explained that, "Statistical Process Control (SPC) software by Hertzler Systems, was obtained for our catalyst division, Environmental Catalyst Technology (ECT). We use the software to monitor our catalyst processing.  We looked at Gainseeker (Hertzler's software solution) to allow us to have tighter control on our processing. Our failure rate is extremely low however gaining a tighter control on our processing allows us to give the customers exactly what he wants and what he has paid for. The software allows us to have more quality checks and gives us real time feed back so in the event that some would get out of spec we have the capability to immediately correct the situation or if we need to quarantine the product so out a spec product does not reach the customers. In providing catalysts/catalytic converters, we have to insure that they work 100% of the time and our customers rely on that from us."

 

According to Hertzler's CEO, Evan J Miller, "Our clients, like ECT, know that accurate data acquisition solutions are vital to efficiency, cost-savings, and time-savings.  Only when these real-time data are available can a company improve their process."

 

Roehner noted that, "The advantages of SPC are controlling the raw material utilization. The materials the go into a catalysts are very expensive, for example the precious metal -rhodium costs $10,000/ounce (in comparison gold cost only $900/ounce.) Working with Hertzler was a good experience for us and we will work with them in the future. They delivered product (software) that is doing what we expected it to do."
